Once Gu Xue’er saw what Gu Xi was doing, a smug smile tugged at her lips.Yes, cause trouble! Cause all the trouble you can. I want to see just how much Xing Beiyan can bear!“What is that woman doing, why is she walking towards Lord Xing?”“She’s so beautiful. Which family’s young miss is she and why haven’t I seen her before?”“So what if she’s beautiful, the way I see it, her beauty doesn’t make her worthy of our Lord Xing!”“Just watch, I heard no woman’s been able to get close to Lord Xing yet. It’ll be even funnier if she embarrasses herself.”“Yes, let’s watch a good show while we find out who that woman is exactly.”Some people had begun talking among themselves.As soon as everybody else heard the commotion, they too turned their heads to look in Gu Xi’s direction.Mo Yun froze for a moment before he walked forward to say, “Are you looking for Little Han and the rest? They’re still helping out outside, I’ll let them know in a bit.”Gu Xi stopped walking to shake her
“What did you say?!” Xing Beiyan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.“I… I’ll wear what I want! You’re so fierce!” Gu Xi was startled by Xing Beiyan. Not only were they in the presence of so many people, but she also felt aggrieved and scared, which made her instantly tear up.“You…” Xing Beiyan was slightly angry but, once he met her teary eyes, his ruthless words died in his throat. With a sigh, he said weakly, “Okay, okay. You can dress like this but only at home, understood?”Gu Xi sniffled, glaring at him despite things already going her way as if the results were not entirely satisfactory.“Don’t cause any more trouble, baby, come here…” Xing Beiyan pulled her closer. After realizing she was not resisting, he pulled her in entirely to wrap an arm around her waist.Everyone was shocked because they never thought that this seemingly cold-blooded and indifferent man would actually swallow his pride to comfort a woman in such a situation.They had all been discussing just how miserabl
“So you’re Elder Sister Gu?” At that moment, Ruan Meng’er came forward to greet her. “I’ve heard Grandma mention you many times. She always praised your beauty and now that I’ve managed to see it for myself, you’re truly outstanding.”“Oh? Is that so~” Gu Xi glanced at her. His family had complimented her beauty?They might have complimented her face because there was nothing else about her that was redeeming to them.However, she did not deny that that was the truth as well.The only redeeming quality of the old Gu Xi was her beauty since her brain had probably been eaten by a dog.“Yes. I thought Big Brother Xing would bring you with him, I never expected…” Ruan Meng’er laughed apologetically. “Elder Sister, please don’t misunderstand. Big Brother Xing and I are not in that kind of relationship,” she quickly continued.“Your relationship isn’t important. Do you know what’s important? Are you my father’s illegitimate child?” Gu Xi looked at her strangely.“No… I’m not…” Ruan Me
“President Gu, are you saying my wife lacks common sense?” Xing Beiyan’s sharp gaze fell onto Gu Tianxiang like a blade, rendering him unable to advance or retreat.“He’s so brave, he actually said Lord Xing’s wife lacked common sense in front of his face?” somebody could not resist mocking Gu Tianxiang.“Big Brother Xing, you know that’s not what Daddy means. In any case, Xixi is still his daughter, why would he accuse her like that?” Gu Xue’er spoke quickly before looking at Gu Xi to continue, “Xixi, say something too.”“You’re all so weird. I was just responding to Elder Sister Xue’er’s words. Why am I the one that doesn’t know any better?” Gu Xi was laughing evilly inside but, on the surface, her face was locked into a puzzled expression.Since Gu Xi was beautiful, her puzzled expression made everyone instantly direct their criticisms towards Gu Xue’er instead.“That’s true, she was being too much when she suddenly appeared to chide somebody else. Gu Xi was just explaining thi
Gu Xi certainly wanted to go home with Xing Beiyan this time. Otherwise, she would be giving Ruan Meng’er an opportunity to enter the picture.Gu Xi was no idiot.The banquet would be ending very late and since Gu Xi kept to a regular schedule, she would usually be asleep by this time, which meant her eyelids felt extremely heavy at that point.However, she was also afraid that Xing Beiyan would ask her to leave after discovering she was sleepy, so she pushed herself to stay awake. She could not wait to lean her entire body against Xing Beiyan though.Xing Beiyan would glance at her once in a while and once he noticed her lifeless eyes, which betrayed her sleepiness, his lips quirked into a small smile and he finally said, “Let’s go home.”The pair of them left the banquet hall, Ruan Meng’er still following behind.It was obvious she planned to follow them home.Gu Xi watched her move directly to the passenger seat, slightly taken aback, before she looked at Xing Beiyan. “Why is
“So she didn’t let you follow them?” Xing Yao’s voice suddenly sounded sharp.“That’s probably not it, but since she’s never seen me before, she probably misunderstood the relationship I had with Big Brother Xing. She seemingly thought that I had ulterior motives for taking care of Big Brother Xing and wanted to snatch him from her so she didn’t want me to follow them…” Ruan Meng’er continued sadly, “I never had that intention to begin with so how could she think of me that way?”“Isn’t that too much? She doesn’t like my cousin anyway, even going as far as to threaten to kill herself if they didn’t get divorced. Now that someone wants to take care of him for her, shouldn’t she be happy?” Second Master Xing’s youngest daughter, Xing Yuan, grumbled in dissatisfaction.“That’s nonsense.” Second Master Xing glared at his daughter.“What do you mean by nonsense! Why did you scold our daughter when she’s speaking the truth? If Little Yan hadn’t handled the entire thing in time, just imag
“Bad intentions!” Old Madam Xing roared. “I’ll get Little Yan to bring her over tomorrow. I want to see if she thinks an old woman like me has bad intentions!” The old woman harrumphed, her bright eyes burning with rage as she slammed her dragon-headed walking stick onto the floor, before turning to walk back up the stairs.Ruan Meng’er quickly followed and comforted her. “Grandma, don’t get angry. It’s bad for your health.”“Don’t worry. Grandma will definitely seek justice for you tomorrow!” The old woman patted her hand lightly, her eyes still burning with rage towards Gu Xi. “I’m sure you must’ve felt very wronged when you went to the banquet today.”“As long as it’s to help Grandma, Meng’er doesn’t mind…” Ruan Meng’er shook her head but nobody saw the cunning look in her lowered gaze.…“What? Go to the old Xing residence?” Gu Xi leaped off the couch and stared in shock at Butler Wang, who was dressed in a suit with not a single hair out of place on his head.“Yes, Old Madam
The next day.Gu Xi, who was all dressed up and ready to leave for the old Xing residence, was taken by surprise when she heard that Xing Beiyan would be going there straight from his office.“He isn’t coming back to pick me up?” Gu Xi asked sullenly.“Young Master said you don’t need to go,” Butler Wang answered, still reverent and respectful.“Huh?” Gu Xi’s face fell. This was a request from Old Madam Xing so she knew if Xing Beiyan found out she was going, her days would be much more difficult. Besides, maybe he thought that she did not want to go so he went to the residence on his own.However, if Gu Xi did not show up at the residence, who knows what fight the Xing family would pick with him over it?Gu Xi did not want Xing Beiyan to bear all those malicious insults because of her in this life!Therefore, even if she disliked the thought, she needed to be there too!“Prepare the car and send me there!” She sprung up from her seat and ordered seriously.“This…” Butler Wang
